What is a Business Process?
A Business Process is a collection of activities designed to produce a specific output for a particular customer or market. It implies a strong emphasis on how the work is done within an organisation, in contrast to a product’s focus. A process is thus a specific ordering of work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, and clearly defined inputs and outputs: a structure for action.
A Business process:
1.Has a goal
2.Has specific Inputs
3.Has a specific output
4.Uses resources
5.Has a number of activities that are performed in some order
6.Many affect more than one organisational unit. Horizontal organisational impact
7.Creates value of some kind for the customer. The customer may be internal or external
PR Business Model
BPR develops all its products based on the following business model. The key components of this business model are innovation, organisation and achievement.
The Three Levels of Process Activities are:
1.Business process improvement
2.Business process reengineering
3.Business process architecture
The most basic process activity is Business Process Improvement and the most complex is Business Process Architecture. As you increase the scope of process activity the investment, the risk and the time requirement also increase.
Business process improvement
This is equivalent to re-decorating a house. The starting and finishing points of the process are usually within a single department. The effort supports the business department’s business plan and annual objectives. The results affect the performance of that department.
When the project is finished, the nature of the business, and the organisational structure and boundaries remain unchanged. The department’s employees have to modify their routine and new skills are often needed to make the new process improvements work.
